Sleep anyone?

Why is it when you are tired and want to sleep, Sleep is the last thing that comes your way. The experts say try a cool dark room, check; with the exception of my spouse's habit of channel surfing. Quiet your mind, I have one question on this suggestion, HOW???? Get into a regular routine "they" say, do "they" have children, pets, a spouse, parents, jobs, school, homes...(you get the idea). Never oversleep, not a real option when you take medication to get you some sleep and you can't hear the alarm the next day. Don't NAP, but what about all the effort to get us to take a power nap? The only suggestion I found that seems to have some merit is this one, if you find you are only sleeping about 6 hours and getting up at 7 don't go to bed before 1 in the morning and this is supposed to help with the frustration of tossing and turning.

Sorry to vent, but I am getting cranky after several restless nights.

Read the dictionary or try to say the alphabet backwards! J/K ! Hope sleep finds you soon!!
You should crash when your head hits the pillow, as busy as you you are!

Want to play that game where I gently remind you of those sleepless nights where my mother oh-so-politely informed me that my insomnia was created by my irregular routines?

I'm loving this game.

I'm also loving the irony of the fact that most parents get their "revenge" when their child grows up and reproduces. IN THIS CASE your children are getting their revenge against their parents because you are going to school. Ah, irony.

Sorry about the not sleeping, Ma. You do know it's likely that when you can't sleep your two oldest daughters are also awake and could probably chat. :D

I've said this before....Who is "THEY?"

Isn't chocolate the cure all? Take a big dose of it, and then relax.

Thanks for the fun valentine. It was a fun surprise on a gloomy day.
ENJOY YOUR WEEKEND.

Remember that eventually we will reach Paradice and they call it a place of "rest"!
